Over the last few years I have read of people claiming to have accidentally created hybrids and/or mixed local frogs.
I really fail to see how this can happen. So, I'll put out the info as to how to not let these accidents happen. If you have a frog from one local , and another frog from a known different local, simply do not put them together! I know, a mind blowing thought process! It is impossible for two frogs to mate if they are not together. Another crazy statement from Rich. I know , I know. It is not an accident when know frogs of different locals are knowingly placed together. So , for those who can't seem to grasp the concept , and those who seem to have a lot of "accidents", let me spell it out once again. Using one viv as a 'holding' station, or quarantineing frogs from different locals and possibly different vendors or froggers is a recipe for diaster. The possibility of communal disease is escalated, and guess what...you just may get a little 'surprise' a couple months down the line. I really fail to see how purposely placing two frogs from different locals in one tank is and "accident" , but for those who can't figure out how their little 'accidents' ended up hoppin' around, you may wish to keep two different locals separated at all times. Mind blowing , crazy, outside the box thinking. Sorry for the rant, but in this day and age of actually knowing how offspring are produced I find the chances of hybrid accidents slim or none. Rant over. Rich PS, FOR THOSE WHO CONSIDER THIS POST A BIT TO HARSH, I ASSURE YOU , THE HARSHNESS WAS PURELY ACCIDENTAL.
